Neuropedagogy: How Science Informs Music Teaching
Neuropedagogy: How Science Informs Music Teaching
Our Professional Development workshops give you the confidence and tools to deliver music lessons in the classroom. Covering basic elements from the F-10 music curriculum, you will develop skills, ideas, and activities for immediate use. All events are designed for both generalist classroom teachers and music specialists.
All workshops are curriculum aligned to the relevant State music syllabus and aligned to AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers. Musica Viva Australia is a NESA-recommended provider because we currently run programs that are NESA-accredited.
This PD Webinar is TQI approved for 2 hours.
This special one-off event is priced at $25 to reflect the unique opportunity to learn from Dr Robyn Stavely, a leading expert in the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and music education. All other Musica Viva Australia Professional Development workshops remain free of charge.
Cognitive neuroscience can offer great insights to educators. When we know that the brain was designed for finding meaning in the world, and how it does this, we can then design teaching practices that best utilise this.
AT THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL:
- how the body, the brain and the world interact to develop knowledge
- movement and its relationship to learning
- how the brain works
- neurons, networks and complexity
- neuroplasticity and its significance for learning
Most importantly, these ideas will be actively explored through activities that will lead to understanding of what the research looks like in practice in music education. No prior music experience necessary.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
These events are designed for both generalist classroom teachers and music specialists.
While our resources and PD are primarily aimed at Primary School teachers, all are welcome, including:
- primary school teachers
- pre-service teachers
- school leaders with an interest in music education for primary school students
"Musica Viva PD has given me so many ideas to refresh my teaching & create new learning experiences for my students."
